PatternWhen joining, use Hook B and MC yarn. Using a slightly bigger hook when joining allows for more elasticity in the joins. You will be working through both layers throughout.

Joining First 3 Diamonds to Each OtherPlace Diamond 6 on top of Diamond 1 with RS facing each other.

With MC and Hook B, make a standing sc in the non-pointy ch-1 corner sp. Ch 1 and sc in the next st, making sure that you are identifying your loops correctly (here and throughout). (Ch 1, skip the next st, sc in the next st) until you have worked into each st across. Ch 1 and sc in the pointy ch-1 corner sp. Ch 3.

Open your work so that the RS is facing you. Place Diamond 5 on top of Diamond 1, with RS facing each other.

Ch 1 and sc in the non-pointy ch-1 corner sp. Ch 1 and sc in the next st. (Ch 1, skip the next st, sc in the next st) until you have worked into each st across. Ch 1 and sc in the pointy ch-1 corner sp. Ch 1. Mark this ch-1 sp with a SM. It will count as your ch-1 corner sp in the next Round. Place the next half-diamond on top of the diamond as before.*

Repeat from * to * until you have joined all 6 half-diamonds to the central star. Join to the first sc with a sl st. Fasten off and work away your ends.

Joining Half-diamondsThe first and last st of each half-diamond will count as a pointy ch-1 sp when it comes to joining.

With RS facing each other, place a half-diamond on top of the diamond farthest away from you, lining it up with the left side of the diamond (right, if you are left-handed).

With MC and Hook B, Place a sl knot on your hook.

*Sc in the pointy ch-1 corner sp. Ch 1 and sc in the next st. (Ch 1, skip the next st, sc in the next st) until you have worked into each st across. Ch 1 and sc in the non-pointy ch-1 corner sp.

Flip the half-diamond onto the next diamond, lining it up with the right side of the diamond (left, if you are left-handed).

BorderChange back to Hook A for the remainder of the pattern!

Border Round 1 (MC)With MC yarn and Hook A, join your yarn by making a standing tr in any marked ch-1 corner sp. (2 tr, ch 2, 3 tr) in the same ch-1 sp. This is your first corner made.

*(Make 3 dc in the next ch-sp) 17 times. There should now be one ch-sp left before the central ring from the half-diamond. (Make 4 dc in the next ch-sp) twice. (Make 3 dc in the next ch-sp) 17 times. (3 tr, ch 2, 3 tr) in the next ch-1 corner sp.*

Repeat from * to * 5 more times, omitting the last corner on the last repeat. Join to the first tr with a sl st.

Stitch Count Per Side: 116 sts – 6 tr and 110 dc (not including ch-2 corner sps)
